I had a look at the rulebook and I'd like to share my thoughts and questions with everybody. some of the points are minor graphic problems. - does the ISSA have a logo? put it in the rulebook - I would call it 'ISSA rulebook' - ISSA can be mentioned in headline on every page - is a pointy nose a saf...

I'm proud to announce my 1 cone world record attempt! I'm planning to have 1 cone and 1 light beam which works as start and finish line at the same time. Sorry I can't use a tape swith, I'd catch air going over such a thing at 100km/h so does that go with the rules if I'm using a light beam? any hel...

I'm gonna be in Paris at the Slalom World Cup with the last 3 gps fixies for sale

Martin Siegrist

sorry if it sounded a bit harsh. you're right!

but why are wheel sizes in mm?

Martin Siegrist

casey: no you should not space it out! for the whole standard talking: it's a swiss hanger so we produce metric threads. btw i'm using a tracker tool to change my wheels, the metric nuts fit. can't you buy metric nuts in america? 70mm wheels, 95mm trucks, 8mm axles. inchy nuts? nope - one day someon...

Airflow vs. Splitfire... the only thing i can say is that gary fluitt bought 10 Airflow OS trucks about in 2004. then we didn't here anything from him ever again. half a year later he released his own truck which basically looks like an airflow.

Martin Siegrist

a skateboard truck is definitely a very functional thing. so the thesis 'form follows function' might not be too far away. let's have a look at the baseplates of the trucks mentione above. i knowmost of them and they all look more or less the same. and that's all because there's an optimal shape for...

jadranko you are a SLALOMskater that's true.

but most of the skaters who really love the sport don't care about what they skate. they skate everything. slalom, pool, parks, freeride, downhill, banks, cones, parking lots, rigiblick, monuments. whatever. can you feel the flow?

Martin Siegrist

the old design was adapted from our GS raceboard C81 which also has lips. it has nothing to do with grabbing rails. it was simply the easiest way to make the kink between flat and lips. now the foamcore is shaped differently. the lips are still there.

live your dream. go skateboarding!

http://homepage.sunrise.ch/mysunrise/martinsiegrist/images/downhill2006.jpg for those who haven't seen it yet: chris hart and i made a new board. it just got finished on time. right before the downhill world championships. it's lighter than the texalium deck and has a new design for the lips. it's ...

chris hart - 06.03.1971 - lives in zürich - switzerland chris started skating with puli in the early 80's. his first board was a makaha, followed by a mike weed banana. puli and chris (pc) started building skateboards with the age of 13. chris is the man behind airflow. can you feel it - the airflow...

airflow optimized the raceline and freeride shapes almost one/two years ago. the decks were narrower before. the first C81 looked veryvery different from what it looks now, and so was the production different too. the jani söderhäll s shape was remade a bit more than a year ago. personally I like th...

Martin Siegrist

I don't ride so many different downhill boards that I could say I prefer foam or wood but I definitely like my foamy downhill board cause it's light and fast. My old wooden board hasn't got the lips yet and so I cannot compare sooo well. If I could change something then I would shape the foamcore a ...

Martin Siegrist

panda is right a light board is an advantage for footbraking. the handling in general is just a little bit more confortable compared to a heavier board. in the front of the board I got lips. these lips provide a better feeling of the board. it's almost like concave but the middle part of the deck is...

Martin Siegrist

a swiss organisation is planned! I'm dreaming of an association for at least slalom and downhill. it makes everything alot easier. sponsors for events and riders, money from the government for ahtletes who go to competitions in foreign countries and so on and on and on.....

cameron, ask for shaved wheels in your local butchery... they will probably have some cut off stuff for you...
